Two Bizen Pots



These two photographs were taken at Imbe in Japan in 1978. We have always loved Bizen ware and understood the process used to produce it. On later visits, when we were viewing the Bizen pots in the department store collections, we would be approached by the manager or one of his staff, and told of the methods used. They were often somewhat confused about the process and, having succeeded ourselves with producing Bizen wares, we had to smile at their confusion.

  1. Nice pots, Bruce. I particularly like the big jar. Beautiful and spontaneous lugs on it. Merry Christmas to you!
